Is it any good?

Can you even get good seafood in SLC? If so, where?

It's meh. Probably a little better than Red Lobster, but frozen seafood is frozen seafood--nothing to write home about. The strawberry lemonade is good, though.

I was going to say the same thing. It's like Joe's Crab Shack.

I don't know if you can, but I've heard that Market Street is better than most places in SLC for seafood.

Major grain assault, there, SMR. falafel thinks all seafood is icky (his word). I wouldn't exactly look to him for seafood advice.

Keep your expectations low for McGrath's. They have pretty good clam chowder. Market Street is excellent. Price-wise, McGrath's is $, Market Street is $$$.

Doesn't Market Street fly fresh seafood in every morning?

Not sure. I Googled it and found this:

"Best Seafood. Market Street Grill…These people fly in hundreds of pounds of fresh fish every day. From the boat to your plate, as fast as anyplace…"

This from some travel guide's restaurant review:

Market Street Grill
Established 25 years, the Market Street Grill is, many say, the best seafood restaurant in town. The fish is flown in especially from around the globe every day, and patrons here work their way through over 600 pounds of fresh seafood daily... The restaurant features special festivals for foods in season throughout the year, another delicious reason to visit. Daily specials, and pasta, steaks and ribs are also available. Good wine list.

My wife worked at Mcgraths fishhouse in Orem right when they opened. They fly in all of their seafood fresh every day.

I hate seafood so I have no clue if its good, but I do know the seafood is fresh.

Good strawberry lemonade alone would make it worth it for Mrs. SMR.

I thought Red Lobster was probably a bit better than McGrath's fwiw.

Market Street has sundowner specials that are pretty reasonable. I get the prime rib that comes with soup or salad, starch and hagen daz ice cream. Less than $20.

Usually but not always. I used to buy raw fish to make sushi there once a week. Only a few times was it not fresh.

I dropped $60 on dinner for two at McGrath's and remember walking away wondering if we just ate Skipper's on a plate with silverware.

Your best bet for seafood in Utah is probably Market Street Grill. I've never been, but I have heard nothing but great things about the Deer Valley Seafood Buffet during ski season.
